Scott Minerd, who oversees $250 billion as chief investment officer for Guggenheim Partners, said benchmark 10-year Treasury yields could upend their long-term trend if they pierce 3 percent.

“It’s basically the beginning of the end,” Minerd said in a Bloomberg Television interview on Thursday. “Long-term trends like this don’t reverse quickly,” he added, saying yields might spend years building a new base before truly taking flight.
